I can't answer your question, but I'd suggest that you ask a lot of questions about both schools. How long have they been in business? What percentage of entering students graduate? For the ones who don't graduate, why do they leave school? (If they are getting jobs in the industry, fine. If not, are they leaving because they've flunked out, can't afford to attend any longer, are transferring to other schools, or some other reason?) How many graduates have they produced? What percentage of those graduates are currently working in the field of music production? What kinds of jobs do they hold? How long does it take the average grad to find a job? What percentage of them are employed at graduation? What kind of salaries are they making? What kind of internships are available through the school? (This is important because it provides work experience and contacts in the business.) What percentage of students do internships? (If there are a limited number of internships, then you may not be getting the experience or contacts you'll need.) Do any record companies/production companies recruit at the school or are students on their own after graduation when it comes to finding a job? Is a four-year degree really necessary to become a record producer? Ask about the curriculum -- what would you be studying? Is the course load entirely oriented toward the music business or would you also be required to take math/English, etc. similar to a regular university? What are the advantages of attending that particular school vs. other school? You need to ask the hard questions of the admissions people rather than just being dazzled by the possibilities. You need to make sure that whatever school you attend will be the right one to move you toward your goal.
